North Carolina freshman Senator Thom Tillis is someone you would not want to shake hands with. We need that new Ebola elbow greeting to take hold in South Carolina.
An old roommate of mine Randy Wier was the father of the elbow greeting which he began back in 1970. If I recall he initiated it one Halloween while dressed as Hitler because no one would shake his hand. He stuck with it though and many of us picked up on it to this day. Randy was 45 years ahead of his time.
I suppose Senator Tillis could be thought of as a pee covered Ayn Rand, but she was one of those loud, rabid foreign atheists we hate so much today. The kicker of course in this piece by Jon Stewart is how Libertarian fundamentalism can screw up your brain as much as religion can.
Senator Tillis wants no regulations, even to keep waiters with pee and crap all over their hands from serving you food. Okay, Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Ayn Rand, Mad Max and Thunderdome understood, but then he wants a regulation to force restaurants to put up a sign that says their waiters are covered in human waste. So which regulation is worse? It’s the same disconnect present in any fundamental belief system whether it be religion, free markets or gungoonery.
